Malgus 5v5

I know its recent as far as gac, but anyone with experience in arena or TW? up against my first malgus SE team. from videos I've seen appears pretty strong vs all GLs. thinking SLKR FO maybe. my only other gl options are jml or rey.

    This team destroyed - Rey R8 Ult (good mods), RFinn, RPoe, Holdo, Poe (not the greatest mods) - Only person I killed was G12 Talon. Rey's ult didn't scratch them and neither did 2 whirlwinds.

    So I took In JML R9 ult + Hoda R5 + JKLS R7 - All top tier mods - Lost with Malgus/Malak unscathed. No assists, completely ignored JKLS stun, couldn't even build the smallest sliver of ult on JML.

    Took in GAS R7 + 501st all R7 - GAS top tier mods/501st Tier Aish mods - Barely limped to finish them off.


    G12 Talon means datacron wasn’t active so i’m shocked to read your Rey lost

    If he did have any datacrons equipped they would be active in subsequent battles though… at least up to Level 3 (or 5?)

    Ok how does doubt stop you using an ability?


    It's not doubt. It's because of the L9 DC, Malgus is able to spam his second special on every turn. That special dish out irresistable CD increase by 1.


    If you’d of bothered to read the post he had a g12 talon so no datacron was active.
    Needless to say running a full team of sith or with tanks would guarantee his ult even with the datacron, or if your that bad at the game SEE has a datacron that speeds up his ult, but I highly doubt a malgus team would kill a full side before SEE got his ult.

    You can't equip datacrons, if your squad contains toons below R3.

    But why did JML not gain ult? Can't you call assists against Malgus?
    Doubt and shock blocks TM gains - but that should still let you assist, right?
